Not sure if I'm being over cautious or not, what would you do? I live alone with a baby. I recently sold some furniture on ebay for a price I was pleased with. The buyer has paid electronically so I have the money, but I need to arrange for him to pick up the furniture. He's insisting on a weekday evening and says he can't guarantee what time (I asked for before 7pm as baby goes to sleep then and carrying furtniture out door will definitely wake baby and make him yell).
If he'd agree to a specific time I was going to get my neighbour to pop round in advance to sit with me and baby so that I wouldn't be on my own with some random man from the Internet. But he doesn't seem able to do that, he didn't say why. I guess he must work shifts or something.
It's beginning to feel a bit weird and his emails are abrupt and grumpy, and I'm wondering if I should just refund his money and forget it. But then I think I'm being silly and should just tell him to pop round in the evening as I'm here.
What would you do? I'm feeling a bit bullied. Have told him I can do anytime before 7pm on any day, surely that's fair enough? At the moment he doesn't have my address but if I reply to this evening's email I'll need to give it.
